MUTATION
A sudden change occurring in hereditary materials is called mutation.
The process by which mutation is produced is called mutagenesis .
An organism exhibiting a novel phenotype as a result of the presences of a mutation is referred to as a mutant.
![Page 4: Molecular mechanism of Mutation](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062310/58e7f9a91a28abf13f8b5035/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
General characteristics of Mutation Mutation are generally recessive, but dominant mutations also occur. Mutation may be harmful, beneficial or neutral. Mutation are random, occur at any time and in any cell of an organism. Mutations are recurrent i.e. the same mutations may occur again and
again.
![Page 5: Molecular mechanism of Mutation](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062310/58e7f9a91a28abf13f8b5035/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
ROLE OF MUTATION Ultimate source of all genetic variation and it provides the raw material
for evolution.
Mutation results into the formation of alleles, without mutation all genes would exists in only one from.
Organism would able to evolve and adapt to environmental change.
![Page 6: Molecular mechanism of Mutation](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062310/58e7f9a91a28abf13f8b5035/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
In multicellular organism, two broad categories of mutations:
1)Somatic mutations &
2)Germ line mutations
![Page 7: Molecular mechanism of Mutation](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062310/58e7f9a91a28abf13f8b5035/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Somatic mutations
Arise in the somatic cells Passed on to other cells through the process of mitosis Effect of these mutations depends on the type of the
cell in which they occur & the developmental stage of the organism
If occurs early in development, larger the clone of the mutated cells.
E.g. Skin cancers and leukemia
![Page 8: Molecular mechanism of Mutation](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062310/58e7f9a91a28abf13f8b5035/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Germ line mutations
They occur in the cells that produce gametes.
Passed on to future generations.
In multicellular organisms, the term mutation is generally used for germ line mutations.
![Page 9: Molecular mechanism of Mutation](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062310/58e7f9a91a28abf13f8b5035/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Some Facts
Term mutation was given by Devries in 1901 while studying evening primerose Oenothera lamarckiana.
Most of these were chromosomal variations
Some were point variations
![Page 10: Molecular mechanism of Mutation](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062310/58e7f9a91a28abf13f8b5035/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Cont. Originally the term mutation was given to both chromosomal as well as
point mutation.
Recently chromosomal mutations are studied separately.
The term mutation is now given only to point mutations.

Types of gene mutation
Number of ways to classify gene mutations:
On the basis of the molecular nature of the defect,
On the nature of the phenotypic effect-- amino acid sequence of the protein is altered or not,
On the basis of the causative agent of the mutation
![Page 12: Molecular mechanism of Mutation](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062310/58e7f9a91a28abf13f8b5035/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Mutations on the basis of the molecular nature of the defect: Base substitution
Insertions & deletions
![Page 13: Molecular mechanism of Mutation](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062310/58e7f9a91a28abf13f8b5035/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Base substitution: Simplest type of gene mutation.
Involves the alteration of a singlenucleotide in the DNA.
![Page 14: Molecular mechanism of Mutation](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062310/58e7f9a91a28abf13f8b5035/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
![Page 15: Molecular mechanism of Mutation](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062310/58e7f9a91a28abf13f8b5035/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Base substitution is of two types:
Transition: Purine is replaced with a purine
Pyrimidine is replaced with a pyrimidine
A
TTCC
GG A
![Page 16: Molecular mechanism of Mutation](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062310/58e7f9a91a28abf13f8b5035/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Transversions: A purine is replaced by a pyrimidine
ACAT
GG
CT
CGCA
T GT A
or a pyrimidine is replaced by a purine
![Page 17: Molecular mechanism of Mutation](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062310/58e7f9a91a28abf13f8b5035/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Insertions & deletions: 2nd major class of gene mutation
Addition or the removal , respectively, of one or more nucleotide pair
Usually changes the reading frame, altering all amino acids encoded by codons following the mutation
Also called as frame shift mutations
![Page 18: Molecular mechanism of Mutation](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062310/58e7f9a91a28abf13f8b5035/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
cont.
Additions or deletions in the multiples of three nucleotides will lead to addition or deletion of one or more amino acids.
These mutations are called in-frame insertions and deletions, respectively.
![Page 19: Molecular mechanism of Mutation](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062310/58e7f9a91a28abf13f8b5035/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Forward mutation:
a mutation that alters the wild type phenotype
Reverse mutation (reversion):
a mutation that changes a mutant phenotype back in to the wild type
![Page 20: Molecular mechanism of Mutation](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062310/58e7f9a91a28abf13f8b5035/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Missense mutation: a base is substituted that alters a codon in the mRNA resulting in a different amino acid in the protein product

Suppressor mutation:
Suppresses the effect of other mutation
Occurs at a site different from the site of original mutation
Organism with a suppressor mutation is a double mutant but exhibits the phenotype of un mutated wild type
Different from reverse mutation in which mutated site is reverted back into the wild type sequence
![Page 25: Molecular mechanism of Mutation](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062310/58e7f9a91a28abf13f8b5035/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
On the basis of Causative agent of mutation:Spontaneous:
Mutations that result from natural changes in DNA. All the types of point mutation. It occurs in DNA replication and G1 and G2 phase of cell cycles.
Induced:
Results from changes caused by environmental chemicals & radiations Any environmental agent that increases the rate of mutation
above the spontaneous is called a mutagen such as chemicals & radiations
![Page 26: Molecular mechanism of Mutation](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062310/58e7f9a91a28abf13f8b5035/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
SPONTANEOUS MUTATION
DNA Replication Errors.
Spontaneous Lesions.
Transposition.
![Page 27: Molecular mechanism of Mutation](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062310/58e7f9a91a28abf13f8b5035/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
1) DNA REPLICATION ERRORS Each of the common bases in DNA can spontaneously undergo a
transient rearrangement of bonding. i.e. Base pairs substitution mutations
Chemically each base can exists in alternatives states called Tautomers.
A proton shifts in nitrogen base forms on its rare tautomeric form i.e. Tautomeric shift.
In DNA, H- atoms usually prefer specific atomic location in purine and pyrimidine bases .
• The N- atoms attached to C , G and A are in the amino form ( - NH2 )• The O- atom in G and T are in Keto form ( = O )• Keto (C=O), enol (C-OH)• Amino - (NH2), imino (=NH)
![Page 28: Molecular mechanism of Mutation](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062310/58e7f9a91a28abf13f8b5035/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
![Page 29: Molecular mechanism of Mutation](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062310/58e7f9a91a28abf13f8b5035/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
![Page 30: Molecular mechanism of Mutation](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062310/58e7f9a91a28abf13f8b5035/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Eg. In the example diagramed, a guanine undergoes a tautomeric shifts to its rare enol from at the time of replication .in its enol form, it pairs with thymine, during the next replication the guanine shifts back to its more stable keto form. The thymine incorporated opposite the enol form of guanine directs the incorporation of adenine during the subsequent replication . The net result is a GC to AT mutation.
![Page 31: Molecular mechanism of Mutation](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062310/58e7f9a91a28abf13f8b5035/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
2) SPONTANEOUS LESIONS Naturally occurring damage to the DNA also can generate
mutations. Three types of spontaneous lesions:
Depurination and Depyrimidiation.
Deamination.
Oxidative damage.
![Page 32: Molecular mechanism of Mutation](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062310/58e7f9a91a28abf13f8b5035/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
Depurination and Depyrimidiation Depurination is the loss of purine due to breaking of glycosidic
bond of nucleotides in DNA. Similarly depyrimidiaton is the loss of pyrimidine base.
AP: APURINIC SITE (or baseless site). If such lesions are not repaired, there is no base to specify a complementary
base during DNA replication, and the DNA polymerase may stall or dissociate from DNA.
![Page 33: Molecular mechanism of Mutation](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062310/58e7f9a91a28abf13f8b5035/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
Deamination Removal of amino group from a molecules i.e. from cytosine,
adenine and guanine .Chemicals are Nitrous acid(HNO2),sodium bisulfite(NaHSO3).
e.g. Xanthine result form deamination of guanine selectively base pairs with thymine instead of cytosine. Hypoxanthine selectively base pairs with cytosine instead of thymine.
![Page 34: Molecular mechanism of Mutation](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062310/58e7f9a91a28abf13f8b5035/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
OXIDATIVELY DAMAGE Attack by reactive oxygen species to the DNA. Radicals like superoxide(O2), hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) and hydroxyl
radicals (OH).
E.g. 8-oxo-7-hydrodeoxyguanosine(8-oxodG) and thymidine glycol are products of oxidative damage. Results 8-oxodG mispairs with A, resulting in high level of G-T Transversions.
Thymidine glycol blocks the DNA replication.
![Page 35: Molecular mechanism of Mutation](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062310/58e7f9a91a28abf13f8b5035/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
3) TRANSPOSITION A transposons is a DNA sequence that is able to insert itself(or copy
itself) at a new location in the genome, without having any sequence relationships with target locus.
Insertion of a transposable elements into or near a functional gene can alter its expression by causing loss of gene function or by changing the gene expression (insertion mutation).
![Page 36: Molecular mechanism of Mutation](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062310/58e7f9a91a28abf13f8b5035/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
INDUCED MUTATION Physical Mutagens
Radiation (a) Ionizing( e.g. X-ray, gama ray, cosmic ray), (b) Non- ionizing (e.g. UV ray) Heat
Breaks the N-glycosidic bond in DNA. Results form apurinic site or baseless site. Leads to unstable and rapidly degrade the DNA.
Chemical Mutagens Base Analogs Alkylating agents Intercalating agents
![Page 37: Molecular mechanism of Mutation](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062310/58e7f9a91a28abf13f8b5035/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
Radiations:Ionizing radiations: In 1927, Herman Muller demonstrated that mutations could
be induced by X-rays. X-rays, gamma rays, and cosmic rays are all capable of
penetrating tissues and damaging DNA.
They remove electrons from the atoms that they encounter, changing stable molecules into free radicals and reactive ions which then alter the structures of bases and break phosphodiester bonds in DNA.
Ionizing radiation also frequently results in double-strand breaks in DNA.
![Page 38: Molecular mechanism of Mutation](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062310/58e7f9a91a28abf13f8b5035/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
![Page 39: Molecular mechanism of Mutation](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062310/58e7f9a91a28abf13f8b5035/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
Non-ionizing UV radiation causes thymine dimers, which block replication. Light repair separates thymine dimers. Sometimes the repair jobs introduces the wrong nucleotide,
leading to a point mutation.
![Page 40: Molecular mechanism of Mutation](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062310/58e7f9a91a28abf13f8b5035/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
Chemical mutagen:Base Analogs
Chemicals with structures similar to that of any of four standard bases of DNA.
DNA polymerases cannot distinguish these analogs. They may be incorporated into newly synthesized DNA molecules. Both base analogs produce transition mutations. Mutations by base analogs can be reversed by treatment with the same
analogs or different analog.
![Page 41: Molecular mechanism of Mutation](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062310/58e7f9a91a28abf13f8b5035/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
![Page 42: Molecular mechanism of Mutation](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062310/58e7f9a91a28abf13f8b5035/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)
2-Amino-purine: Base analog of adenine. Normally pairs with thymine. May mispairs with cytosine. Causes a transition mutation.
![Page 43: Molecular mechanism of Mutation](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062310/58e7f9a91a28abf13f8b5035/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)
Alkylating agents: Chemicals that donate alkyl groups e.g.
Ethylmethanesulfonate(EMS). It adds an ethyl group to guanine and produces 6-ethylguanine,
which pairs with thymine and leads to CG:TA transitions Also adds an ethyl group to thymine to produce 4-ethylthymine,
which then pairs with guanine, leading to a TA:CG transition Mustard gas is another alkylating agent.
![Page 44: Molecular mechanism of Mutation](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062310/58e7f9a91a28abf13f8b5035/html5/thumbnails/44.jpg)
Intercalating agents Proflavin, acridine orange, ethidium bromide, and dioxin . They are about the same size as a nucleotide They produce mutations by sandwiching themselves (intercalating) between
adjacent bases in DNA They distort the three-dimensional structure of the helix and cause single-
nucleotide insertions and deletions in replication These insertions and deletions frequently produce frameshift mutations.
![Page 45: Molecular mechanism of Mutation](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062310/58e7f9a91a28abf13f8b5035/html5/thumbnails/45.jpg)
E.g.
![Page 46: Molecular mechanism of Mutation](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062310/58e7f9a91a28abf13f8b5035/html5/thumbnails/46.jpg)
Mutation Rates
The frequency with which a gene changes from the wild type to a mutant is reffered to as the mutation rate.
Expressed as the number of mutations per biological unit i.e. mutations per cell division, per gamete per round of replication
e.g. mutation rate for achondroplasia (hereditary dwarfism) is about 4 mutations per 100,000 gametes.
Mutation Frequency
Incidence of specific type of mutation with in the group of individual organism.
e.g. for achondroplasia, the mutation frequency in united state is about 2x10⁻⁴.
